DR. SBAITSO WAS MY ONLY FRIEND.
Classic! I still have the good Dr. on a disk somewhere. Once I learned the say command though, it was over.
Type: Say "Peter is dumb and is no longer allowed in this room. Get out fucker"
... wait patiently for my younger brother Peter to enter my room ...
Enter!
Laugh and tell him to get out.
Repeat. Endless fun!

Spertus Museum pulls plug on controversial map exhibit
Spertus released a statement to the press about the closing (which they forwarded to museum's e-mail list), which basically states that they canceled the exhibit in order so they wouldn't hurt their fundraising abilities.
I couldn't find a copy of the statement on the spertus website, or a complete copy on any of the news websites, so I figured I'd include it here, since I'm sure someone would like to read it.

Bono's Joshua Tree RIP
"The desert is fascinating to me. As an image, it's both positive and negative to me. The desert is a location for music; it's dry and arid. Some of the music is dry and arid. It's wide open space for music."
-- Bono, 1987
I love listening to music in Joshua Tree! Everytime I'm at a club now out in Chicago, I miss Joshua Tree. The desert is perfect for dancing!
Exit, turn right, reset odometer. 18.7 miles. Left onto dirt... [more]

Independent Kosovo? Why Not Vermont?
I think this is a really important issue, but the article was a little lack luster for me. Why not three Iraqs? Why is there such a strong push to ensure a single united country of Iraq. There are three distinct groups there, who want nothing to do with each other.
Just because an Empire was dismantled into distinct Countries/States doesn't mean those States should be set in stone if people in the region seem to think borders/countries should be redrawn.

So what has changed? Nothing, except they're trying to make the system more automated
What's changed is that it's making google do all the legwork. As it stands now, for something to be taken down, the content owner must search youtube, find the content, and request its removal. With the new content filter the content owners are essentially getting google to do their work for them. I don't think this is a good thing. As long as google follows... [more]

Web 0.1
Umm ... Great! Just what I needed to see today. Another ugly website. Frankly, there's not enough blinking for my tastes. And could they have included some sort of annoying background jingle? A website's not a website without crappy background music you can't turn off.

To look for america
I didn't get it when I watched it. And now that I've read the comments and realized he didn't speak English I'm still not impressed. Did it say somewhere in the video he didn't understand English and I missed it?
I love me some Simon and Garfunkel, and this was very sub-par
